Your random tidbit this week: In all my years of doing this, I've never seen so many active consoles at once. I mean, think about it for a moment - there's 3 Sony consoles and 4 Nintendo consoles all getting weekly releases (more or less - the PSP, Wii, and DS are quickly dying down).

Probably the Baldur's Gate revamp, but I'm not sure if I want to do it on PC or iPad yet. An iPad version would be cool, but for two things:

1. I've tried a couple similar text-heavy RPG's on iPad (i.e. Avadon), and find the UI to be very challenging to use. My eyes are also pretty bad, and I have a hard time reading really small text. That could be an issue on the mobile version.

2. While I absolutely love the story, characters, world, and artwork, the combat is my least favorite part of these games. In fact, the only reason I was able to get through BGII on PC was through liberal use of cheat codes. I'm guessing the iPad version won't have that, which may be a reason to stick with PC.

Will wait and see what the feedback is, but my guess is that I'll end up with it on PC.

Definitely Baldur's Gate. I'm leaning towards the iOS version for the novelty of being able to play a pedigreed CRPG of such scope while laying on my back on the couch and tossing potato chips into my maw like a wheat thresher on harvest day.

Baldur's Gate EE for both PC and iPad (if the reviews are positive). I would love to be able to play Baldur's Gate on my iPad while I'm traveling. Hopefully it's good. I will definitely get Farcry 3 at some point...possibly in December.
